[Bug 1298273] [NEW] apache2 doesn't compare SNI hostname against Host header case-insensitively

 

Public bug reported:

[impact
Landscape client registration is fails with the following apache error message.
[Wed Mar 26 15:44:29 2014] [error] Hostname P122C-0-0-15680 provided via SNI and hostname p122c-0-0-15680 provided via HTTP are different.

it is because apache2 doesn't compare SNI hostname against Host header case-insensitively.
apache2 rejects connection request and returns 400 error code when the SNI doesn't match with requested.
http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/NameBasedSSLVHostsWithSNI
Therefore landscape client registration was failed.

- Precise 12.04 LTS
- apache2 : 2.2.22-1ubuntu1.4

[Test Case]
How reproducible is the problem?
( easily with the test case, intermittent, on every boot, etc)

 1. Create self-signed SSL certificate file with upper case hostname 
 2. curl https://hostname/message-system --cacert xxxx
     a. Actual Results - apache returns 400 Bad request error.
     b. Expected Results - apache should return 200

[Regression Potential] 
none, this has been merged into upstream and well tested. 

[Other Info]
